April is turning out to be a really busy month. There was Yom Ha'tzmaut this past Tuesday and Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd. Now to top it off all this month I'm inviting everyone to the virtual celebration of Talking Ginger Superstar's 5th Birthday.

Who's Talking Ginger you may be wondering? If you or your kids don't know him already let me introduce you to this rather unique fun and interactive boy cat character toy.

Image from TalkingFriends

Standing 12" tall, the very orange tabby Ginger is the little nephew of Talking Tom (also pictured below), who along with Talking Angela, make up the chatty trio of furry covered cats. Together the personable threesome are the first iPhone and iPad app powered plush toys of their kind brought to you by TalkingFriends. Each of these lovable cats also works without apps simply by pushing any of the buttons on his tummy.

Meet Talking Tom, Ginger's Uncle

Here's my little model cuddling with Talking Tom

Ginger is a young toddler kitty who is as curious as any human kid his age. In his first app he talks about all the important things that young pre-schoolers must learn: brushing teeth, getting clean and potty training.

Push Ginger's belly buttons to hear music and talking

Install the batteries by opening the Velcro closure in Ginger's back

Like the other Talking Friends, Ginger comes packed inside a heavy duty cardboard box with a USB cable and carrying bag. Three AA batteries not included are needed to get him talking. Watch Ginger in action here.Now let's get this party started by previewing Talking Ginger's Birthday App

Something else fun you can do is to get your child to send a birthday card to Ginger that will be shared worldwide with other Talking Friends fans. All you have to do to participate is use your scanner or take a picture of your kid's artwork with your smartphone and email their handiwork to Ginger's uncle at Tom@talkingfriends.com from now until May 5, 2013. From all the birthday card submissions, one child will win a Talking Ginger, Talking Tom or Talking Angela Superstar to help complete their own collection.
